Death Trip

Plot was terrible. You spend the whole movie wondering what is going on but in the worst way possible. The situations that the characters get in are unremarkable, unrealistic, and honesty frustrating. Please watch so you can be as mad as I am.

I created and account just to rate this nonsense garbage. This film is confusing, boring and long. You won't understand a thing, like from start to finish. If you're planning to watch this film, then i have a better advice for you. Talk to someone you like, your beloved one, your family. Go to the gym or anything but watching this film, because it's a literall torture for your time and eyes.

Sincerely.

Plus one star for being Canadian. Subtracted 7 stars for the painfully boring first 1 hour 25 minutes. It's nothing against the actors they had very little to work with, it's just boring as heck!

Wanting to get away for the weekend, a group of friends decides to have a special get-together at a remote cottage in the wilderness, but when they discover that someone has been brutally murdered they realize they're being hunted by someone around them and must try to get away alive.

There were some rather troubling factors here alongside its positives. The main drawback is the wholly unnecessary overlong running time that goes on way too long for this kind of film. The early setup involving the lives of the group coming together and arriving at the house manages to be incredibly bland offering up nothing all that interesting as the group does nothing but play banal party games, drink or smoke while arguing over their past boyfriends or debate the merits of the story involving the neighbors' who may or may not have killed his wife. None of this is interesting or thrilling, and when carried on for as long as it is in the running time here it really holds the horror elements back to a point that it's entirely possible to forget this was supposed to be a genre effort in the first place. This is certainly not helped along by the second half where it really shows off how bland and uninteresting the characters are. Focusing on the try-hard political correctness of their intentions instead of having fun or the utterly unnecessary stopover at a party hosted by a local stranger manages to highlight this factor even more with the dull and dreary work of everyone involved making it insanely difficult to care about anything and anyone involved. Taking on the additional disadvantage of being so bland is that these also contribute to the film's overlong running time as not only do we grow to not care about anyone but it just makes the film a chore to get through before getting to anything remotely considered genre entertainment. While it does have some problems later on, among the few things it does right is the actual switchover into the darker scenes when the dying body of their friend is found. It's a genuinely terrifying scene with the confusion and general disorder of the scene where they discover the remains and try to make sense of everything happening, yet even that loses its power and meaning when the motivation for everything comes out rendering everything into a wholly unimpressive and lackluster scorned romance angle that doesn't justify anything that's come before or makes sense as to what the events leading up to that revelation. For the most part, these are what hold this one down.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and drug use.

You know a movie is hot raccoon dumpster trash when the writers of the screenplay don't even bother to make original names for their characters --all the actors played characters of the same name,and credits included such gems as "country partygoer #24". Yes,they were really that lazy about casting. In addition--this movie goes nowhere for almost an hour and a half,and the last fifteen minutes are "why is this even happening"?!?! No explanation whatsoever for the actions of the killer,which just makes the last fifteen minutes confusing given the previous one and a half "setup". Granted,the fight scenes at the end were actually miles about most crappy horror "trying to escape from killer" scenes I have watched,with realistic "dirty" fighting for survival,but again,with zero explanation for why the killer was killing,I was in the weeds as to WHY this fight even came about. Total garbage. It's too late for me-- I can't unsee this. But you have a chance. Save yourself.
